Noms de personnes latins dans l’Antiquité classique et dans les langues romanes
Latin Names of Persons in Classical Antiquity and Romance Languages

Summary/Abstract: This article on onomastics and toponymy aims at showing the changes undergone by names of persons and places, from Classical Antiquity – to which purpose we have explained the names used in Classical Latin – to modern languages. If the classical languages of Antiquity witnessed a close semantic relation between the qualities or drawbacks of a person and the name assigned to him/her, the relation is non-motivated in modern languages. We have also followed the bidirectional relationship between anthroponomastics and toponymy – names of persons making up names of places, as well as names of places resulting in names of persons.
